LIMITZ

..CHAPTER 13/ Through good and bad times..

By flipstahhz

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

Hikari Kamiya turned onto her side, cinnamon locks falling over her face. She shuddered underneath the quilt, curling in a ball. She yawned tiredly and huddled deeper into the soft bed.

The bed!

Her eyes shut open, focusing on the room that wavered dizzily around her. She sat up, letting the warm damp cloth fall from her forehead. Beads of cold sweat rand down her face as questions began to steer in her mind as she began to remember what had last happened when she was conscious.

Since when did she get to Mimi's house? Sleeping in her bed? Just a minute ago she was in a club with TK and Acey fighting…what exactly had happened! How'd she get here…wh-who's coming!

Her sharp senses picked footsteps approaching the bedroom. From the heavy steps she straightaway knew who it was and replaced her confused expression to a hard stubborn one. Within seconds her older sibling stumbled into the room. Hidden worry was evident in his face and his clammy right hand gripped tightly on the Tachikawa's cordless phone. As soon as Taichi observed that his sister was up he instantly walked towards her and checked her temperature by placing the back of his hand on her forehead.

"I'm not sick, Tai," Hikari said rather weakly, not bothering to fight back at her older brother. " Where's TK?" (a/n: kind of reminds you of the Digimon episode when Tai thought Kari was ill, ey? Hehe. Always wanted to include that moment somewhere in this story…even though the plots are VERY different

"What happened back there, Kari?" Taichi said in a croaky tone. His exhausted eyes transfixed on the young girl, " Something's goin' on…ain't it? Who's TK messing with?"

"I-" Kari stared down. " I don't know…"

"Are you okay?" Taichi queried. Still wondering why she wasn't firing back at him with insults. " What did you take, there? How come you passed out?"

"Ahhh Tai…stop fricken' asking me questions," she moaned and dropped back against the mattress for the room still continued to waver a bit. " I just took a sip and then everything went…"

" How could you be so stupid! You can't fucking get all drunk over one sip!" Taichi growled. " Getting drunk like that, what were you thinking? I didn't intentionally mean that I wanted you to get laid…"

"Seriously Tai, I wouldn't be that stupid! Can't you just leave me alone for once? Far out, you were good at that ever since - ever sin…"

"You still should have not done it!"

"Like you haven't!" Kari exclaimed, her blood beginning to boil. " I swear! Truthfully, I had one glass of alchi…and that was it! How could I have passed out over one glass?"

"I don't know whether to believe you, or not…" Taichi said.

"Oh my god! Can't you just state the obvious with that big ego of yours already? Someone probably slipped some drug into my drink!"

"But you didn't have to be so careless!"

" TAI! I wasn't careless! Jeez…off course I wouldn't have been careless if I saw the drug in there in the first place…if it were there duh I wouldn't have drunk from i-" the brunette girl suddenly felt like the wavering of her eyesight was now starting to spin as she was about to drop off her bed.

She then felt Taichi's strong hands prevent Hikari from tumbling down. " You really need to get some rest…"

"How bout TK? Have you heard about TK?" she whispered quietly.

"I'm not sure," Taichi truthfully replied. " Just get some rest…we can talk this out later."

Kari didn't need to be told again as she moved around to get the best comfortable position under the warm sheets. She shivered a bit as she closed her eyes. Taichi leaned casually against the wall of the girl's bedroom and waited till she had finally dozed off. He flinched a bit as he noticed that she was in sort of nightmare whenever she tossed and turned. Faint words escaped her dry lips, some not even making sense. When she had stopped, and settled into what seemed to be a calm sleep he bent down towards her and gave her a brief kiss on the forehead , after pulling the sheets over her body once again. Taichi then gave one final glance at his sister and took a few steps away from her.

"I love you, Tai…"

Taichi halted and turned around to see that she was still murmuring in her sleep. As he walked out of the room he thought to himself, I love you too Hikari, but you just don't know how much. I'm so sorry…for what I did…I know…it's all my fault, I understand why it's hard for you to forgive me. I wouldn't want to forgive myself either…

I'm really sorry for failing as an older brother, Hikari

He then walked out of the room and dropped onto the cold leather sofa. His eyes were going to close soon, but he still needed to be awake. To assist him in staying awake, Tai flicked through the cable channels constantly, trying his best no to put on any of the channels that were too loud that could be able to wake Hikari up. She really needed the rest more than he did.

The others hadn't come back yet, and it was starting to worry him. Yet, he couldn't just leave his sister. He had done that a number of times before, and he wasn't going to fail being a proper older brother any longer.

What mess have you gotten yourself into, TK? If you didn't tell Kari and I to make a run for it, what would have happened to us! Damn, Yamato would seriously kill me if something did happen to you…

He gazed down at his arms, recalling how he ran to the house with his unconscious sister being carried in his arms that were shaking in fury. At that time, all Tai wanted to do was blame it all on Takeru, but how could he when he didn't even know the whole story that was going on?

2:36am….

Where the hell was everyone?

Just in timing, he could hear the front door being unlocked and about three people walking in. From the racket they were making, he knew who the figures were.

He jumped off his sofa and made his way towards the entrance in curiosity to what he missed out on.

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

The figure quietly spiked his hair with some styling gel and had to squint his eyes to get a better view, since he was doing it freehand in the complete dark. He then hurriedly slipped his feet into his pair of moron runners and pulled on a rather baggy navy jumper, with a hood, quietly reaching for the doorknob.

"Where you goin'?" asked the voice behind him.

Daisuke Motomiya jumped a bit then relaxed an ounce as soon as he had realized it was Yamato's voice - Takeru's brother. He turned around the get a better look at the older male. The older male smirked as he sat on the bed, his head drooping against the back wall with his dirty blond strands of hair draping over his ocean shaded blue eyes.

Davis let out a sneer.

" Fool! You fuckin' scared the shit out of me! What da hell you playin' at, man! Have you been awake all night or is it because you like sitting against the wall at this hour?"

"Couldn't sleep," Matt murmured simply with a small hint of causality in his dreary tone. " Too much stuff on my mind, daz awl. Plus you kinda wrecked yourself there. It's actually the mornin' not night time."

"Whatever. Who cares! " Dai shrugged, "Same thing."

"Ha…there's a huge difference between day and night," Matt winked while Daisuke gave him a greasy, making Matt laugh. " So where you goin' off to? Mind if I tag along…to get me out of boredom and not to think about - well can we just go? "

"Sure," Davis gave a broad grin. Daisuke had noticed Yamato's immediate reaction after a phone call that was about four hours ago. How could he have forgotten after he had teased and gestured Matt that he had spoken to his 'girlfriend', which he wouldn't admit. But after Matt had given him the finger and a serious expression on his face, Dai didn't want to mess with him any longer. There had to be something bad going on…or maybe it was just how Matt took things…maybe it just wasn't a big deal after all…perhaps he just thought too much…and taking him out would give the big guy a break from it all…

"But I still don't understand," Daisuke spoke again, shaking his head as he pulled the door wide open for the both of them to be able to exit the dormitory, " How can you suddenly feel all better now, after a few hours beforehand of being so darn sick. All you just did was take a cigarette. Man, you just don't know how much I envy you. I envy not having the power to recover from any illness but just one remedy - a cigarette! Got…your immune system must be crayzay…"

Yamato Ishida avoided Daisuke's way exaggerated sarcasm and pulled on a large jet-black shaded jacket as they walked down the corridor. " So where we going again?"

"Just follow me," the brunette said. They walked in silence for a while, then resumed to stroll down the steep staircase…instantly to meet the strong cold breeze gusting outside the building.

"Full moon," Matt said with his azure eyes adjusting to the darkness and observing the moon's aurora breaking down on them. " We gonna be there yet? It's freezin' like hell. My hands are turning purple."

" Dude, have patience. It's in the other building, dorm 524, right in front of us. Couple of my friends are holding a party."

"A party in the morning? That's pretty gayed up," Yamato commented as the two entered yet another building and then began to walk up a couple dozen of staircases.

"C'mon! It's better than nothing, ya gotta admit! Even so, we ain't allowed to have parties…If we get busted we're dead!"

"Davis or should I say, Daisuke! …what's with you and getting' busted?" Yamato sighed at the younger adolescent, " Perhaps you should look at the brighter side for once. I've only known you for about ianoez…a couple of hours and you've mentioned that we 'might' get busted a couple of times already. Come on…can't you jus take a risk once n a while?"

"I am, right now…with you," Davis muttered. " Especially since you won't shut the fuck up, you gunna wake the whole neiberhood!"

Yamato did decided to keep quiet after what Davis had muttered to him, or perhaps it was because he just couldn't be stuffed to reply back and force a useless argument over getting 'busted.' Minutes later the duo had arrived at their destination - room #524…and feint music was playing behind the wooden door…

I Got What You Need
So tell me what you need
I Got What You Need
So tell me what you need
Tell me what you need
I Got What You Need
Tell me what you need
I Got What You Need

Without hesitation and a brief shrug, Daisuke pushed the door open. Rapidly, warm humid air (supposedly of the sweat being produced) pushed against their cold bodies as they entered the rather crowded dorm. The blond-headed guy could tell that most of the people present were younger than he was, and surprisingly there were even chicks present in the joint as well.

Wasn't this an all guys' school?

He shrugged and raised an eyebrow at some already drunken people that were stumbling on the floor. His frost like eyes gazed towards where the music was coming from. From his point of view, the DJ's mix was pretty good…He liked the song that was playing, after all. Not to mention from the good quality the music playing on the speakers, he knew the DJ's equipment must have cost the guy a fair lot of cash. Daisuke nudged him on the shoulder and gestured that he'd be on the other side of the room, before Yamato could reply to him, the brunette headed boy had already disappeared through the numerous of bouncing bodies that danced to the music.

xxxxx

g-g-g-g-get it on the floor
Get it get it on the floor (WHAT!)
Get it on the floor
Get it get it on the floor (WHAT!)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (WHAT!)
You don't wanna party then your ass gotta go (C'MON!)
Now you can ride to this motherfucker (uh)
Bounce to this motherfucker (uh)
Freak to this motherfucker (let's get it on)
Get it on the floor (WHAT!)
Get it get it on the floor (WHAT!)
Get it on the floor (WHAT!)
Get it get it on the floor (that's right)

Yamato tediously gave a brief look around the dorm yet again and gave a wide dreary yawn. Tediously, he stared back to the DJ. He was a bit relieved that the disk jockey was about his age. He had dark red spiky hair that contrasted against the clothing he was wearing. Since it was much warmer inside the dorm than it had been outside, the boy wore a navy blue shirt, with a hood, and a pair of slacks. Not to mention, that he also wore a rag (the same shade of blue) tied around his built arm and had a black tat that said 'Izzy' on the opposite arm.

"Sup?…uh, Izzy!?" Yamato asked, more like yelled, over the extremely loud music.

The boy narrowed his dark black eyes at him. " What?"

It seemed that he already knew that Matt was going to ask him a favour.

"I'm guessing Izzy isn't your real name…what is it?"

"Koushiro…just call me Izzy. Don't really mind," he shrugged. " You don't come from here. So…what do you want?"

Yamato gave a nod. Even though the guy seemed rude, he was glad that he was straightforward and wanted to get to the point straight away. " Nothin'…just came up to compliment you. You're a pretty good DJ…compared to some fakes that I know of. I like your song choices."

"Nah…My instruments are pretty expensive…my parents flipped when I got it…saying that I should be buying more text books and reading…than doing this shiz… I like it, they can't do nuttin' bout it," Koushiro said confidently.

"Ahuh," Matt said, leaning against the wall next to him. " So I was wonderin'…"

"Yeah?"

"If I offered you to DJ for my crew of dancers…would you want to?"

"What do I get?"

"Uhh…maybe some money if we win," Matt said slyly.

"So you n your group r dancin' at some comp where you probably just get $10 or somethin'…nah, I ain't wastin my time on that," Izzy said with distaste.

"Seriously, it's the world dance comp."

"WDC?" Izzy stared at him in interest. " Then I take that back."

" Yeah, you see…if you mix our songs for us and we lose the competition…it doesn't mean that you lose as well. This could be an opportunity for you to show the world what you can do…and you'll be opened to many doors for your DJ career," Yamato spoke thoughtfully.

"Aiight…I'm down with it…just tell me what you think of this mix I did a few weeks ago and see if it matches with your aerobics routine," Izzy winked.

Matt gave a sigh.

It was all settled then…

After worrying about if from Sora's phone call, it had all paid off.

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

"What the hell happened?" Mimi cursed under angry tears. " You fuckhead!"

"I'm fine," Takeru repeated as he gazed over two paled faces. " Just leave me alone…"

"How can we fuckin' leave you alone after what has happened tonight?" Sora said hysterically. " What were you doing with those guys, back outside the night club? If it weren't for Yolei, JR and Ken…it would be much more than just a few bruises and a darn bloody nose! You got us all fukin' worried there!"

"It's my business. It doesn't concern any of you guys…"

" Everything concerns us. We are what you've got left and don't you fucking deny it! Why can't you stop thinkin' about yourself, bitch, and think about us as well and what the hell you are putting as through!"

Taichi had just walked back into the house after saying goodbye and thank-you to the Ken's crew that had walked the girls and TK home. His eyebrows were raised in irritation from the younger boy's arrogance.

"Don't you ever forget who's family put a roof under your blond haired head!"

" Whatever, " TK responded sulkily.

" Why were you involved with them?" Taichi asked, a bit more calmly this time.

"Because…"

"TK, " Mimi started. " Didn't I tell you not to mess with that group? All they ever do is trouble…trust me, I know."

"Then what you hidin' Mimi? If you know who they really are … why are you still hiding it from all of us!" TK spat as he stormed away from them leaving Mimi to guiltily stare back at Taichi and Sora.

"What?"

"He's got a point there, Mimi," Sora said, " I think you should tell everyone soon…"

"What are you talking about?" Tai said as he stared at the girls exchanging glances. He hated it when girls kept things to themselves and acted as if he wasn't there when he was. It pissed him off.

"I think we'd all better get some sleep. We all need it," Mimi dodged the question once again as she slowly strolled after TK, following his pace.

Why was everyone keeping secrets from each other!

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

It was morning. In boredom she looked at her reflection in the mirror and bared her teeth, stroking her toothbrush up and down. She felt a bit awkward about her encounter with Tai, Sora and TK the previous night…actually morning. It was weird how they suddenly ganged up on her like that. Not to mention how her stomach lurched, after seeing specks of blood and vomit situated in certain spots of the bathroom she was in. It was evidence that something was going around in the house. Everyone had their secrets, and she had a right to keep her's. She frowned.

Mimi Tachikawa wrapped her brown wavy damp hair in a tight pink towel and stepped out of the bathroom. She was about to check out how Hikari was going till the bell rang. Mimi cursed and ran to the front of her house to open the wooden door. Her frown widened.

"What you doin' here, Drew? I'm busy right now…" she lied.

"And who said that I wanted to see you?" Andrew snickered. " Just wonderin' if Tai's up yet?"

"Hold up a minute…YOU are looking for Tai. What exactly is goin' on!" she gave her friend an uncertain glance. " You alright or something? You both have beat fought a lot …and now you want to see HIM! Seriously…why do you want to see him for?"

" Don't need to get jealous, Meems," Drew laughed but then stopped when he realized Mimi's glare of irritation, " Well…umm…I just do wanna see him. Need to talk about eh…some project. So, do you know where he is?"

Mimi sighed. " Where else would he be? He's still sleeping at this hou-"

"I'm here!"

Mimi spun around to see that Taichi Kamiya was already dressed and was tripping down the stairs. "What in the world…"

"Matt's comin' too."

"Matt? Tai, seriously…are you all right? Matt's still at St. Kevin's…you know…TK's school!" Mimi was wrong again when she watched the older blond boy coming down the stair behind him. She skits, "WHAT THE FUCK? Why the hell am I out of the loop!"

Andrew stared at the two boys that were heading towards him, " I thought I was going to talk to you, Tai, privately."

"Nah…you don't understand…you see if Tai's coming. I'm coming. As simple as that," Matt smirked.

"I'm coming too then…just hold up…I'm gunna get ready and change out of my PJs," Mimi sliced out of the three guys and ignored the shout when one of them yelled after her saying…" No chicks allowed!"

Before she approached her bedroom, to change her clothes, she checked in Sora's room to see if she was awake and found out her answer.

"Sora, eh why is Yamato here?" queried Mimi. " I thought he was at St. Kevin's just a minute ago!"

"He came home about three hours after we all fell asleep, to trade places with TK again. Poor TK, hasn't got any descent rest. But the thing is, Yamato told me that he found someone for our dance. So it's all-cool…" she explained.

"Don't tell me you were up all night listenin' when you heard the two switch places or somethin'," Mimi sneered at her friend.

"Couldn't get to sleep…Kari kept on quivering all night," Sora sighed at the still sleeping girl with flushed cheeks, " Whatever she took at the club last night…it's was pretty bad. Her temperature went pretty high. But I think she'll be alright in a couple of hours."

"Seeing you're all dressed up, help me get ready. I'm guessing Matt already invited you…yeah?" the brunette headed girl asked the auburn headed girl who gave a nod.

"So where are we going…anyway?"

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

In the morning, Takeru Takaishi had received the message about him trading places again with Matt. At that moment, he was back on the school grounds and was completely drained from not getting much sleep and how his body ached from getting bashed up a bit outside the club (Dysfunktion).

When his brother came back to the Tachikawa's, he was thankful that it was dark and that Yamato couldn't see any cuts on his face. If Yamato did, he would have had the biggest scold and lecture in a long time. This was why he instantly left the house as soon as he saw his brother entering.

He was thankful that he was back at St. Kevin's since he had become closer friends with Daisuke and everyone back at the Tachikawa's household were currently pissing him off by bombarding him with questions about how he got involved with Acey and his crew. Talking about Acey and his crew…that was yet another reason why he seeked to get out of the area as soon as possible.

He shook his thoughts away and marched up the stairs of his 'so-called' boarding school, grabbed the keys from his left pocket, unlocked the door and casually strolled into the dorm, which he shared with Daisuke. TK gave a brief glance at his friend whom was flicking through some book, supposedly for the literature assignment that was due within the couple of days coming. Daisuke didn't seem to care to look up when he entered. Davis already knew who it was.

The brunette grunted at his new company. " And you never told me you were a basketball pro, from what I've heard." He flicked another page of the thick book he was researching.

TK smirked as he dumped his heavy nike bag under his bed, taking a seat on the wooden chair next to Daisuke.

"You never asked."

So Daisuke had found out that he played at bball…big deal. TK was just wondering how he'd found out…

"Come on TK!" Daisuke shook his head with a goofy laugh. " You could have at least told me. Or are you just scared that I'd kick your ugly stinky butt at it?"

It was TK's turn to shake his head, snickering at the brunette's overlarge ego. Sure, TK had seen Daisuke play basketball a couple of times. But when Daisuke played soccer, TK knew he was more dominant in that sport than basketball.

"So…what's with you, TK? You're a dancer and now a basketball player! You've got me really lost now…what more do you want? What do you want to be in the future…you're careers are goin' haywire!"

"God Dai…why do you always want to talk about me?… how bout you?"

"Stuff me…I want to know about this secretive Takeru Takaishi," Daisuke said mischievously.

"What more do you want to know?"

Daisuke rolled his eyes. " Seriously."

"Fine. I'll tell you something about my stuffed up life," TK sighed. " I'm confused. I don't know what the hell want to be or do when I'm older."

"Confused?"

"Hell right," TK replied, " Probably why I get moody and cranky a lot these days. I don't mean to take it out on everyone…I just can't help it. Everyone's expecting so much from me."

"And Kari…and Matt?"

"Okay…you're going way of the subject now," TK said. " I've got a strong passion for basketball, but my other side wants to graduate high school to become a writer…it's always been my dream ever since I was young. And now, well…I'm not so quite sure about what I want."

"That's tight," Daisuke admitted. " But at least you've got two decisions. For me, I don't know the hell I want to be…and I'm still trying to figure out how you can just do work last minute and get high marks for it. While I'm working my ass off."

"Maybe you can be a soccer player," TK winked.

"Haha…I wish. But it's more of a hobby. I want to become something where I can find a job anywhere and get money for it. In soccer, there's just too much competition, and once you get old…or permanently damage a bone…you're finished. Also, I'd be just wasting my time being at school. You don't need school to become a soccer player. And I'd feel real guilty abandoning school…when my parents gave most of their time to get me in this rich snobby private gayed up boarding school."

" Don't know why Matt wanted to spend it all on me. I know what you mean," the blond teenager agreed.

"Let's get back to you, " Daisuke said, eager to get off the subject to make it focused on his friend. " Why'd you become a break dancer?"

" I joined the LimitZ crew to get my mind off things, I guess. I feel at ease when I'm dancing and all the stress vanishes beneath the crowds cheering and exciting adrenaline. Yamato didn't force me to join LimitZ, this time… I sort of volunteered to take part. I enjoyed break dancing cause I copied most of the moves off TV and kept on imitating the dancer until I was just as good as them. Basketball sort of helped me in a way. Cause in bball, you need to be flexible and built…which was probably I found break dancing not as hard as I thought it would be. To me, dancing is linked to writing."

"Linked to writing?" Daisuke questioned. " I don't see the connection."

"Yeah…in dancing you need to have your own sort of creativity and style. Originality. If you haven't noticed many artists/dancers have their own unique moves…and portray their moves with confidence. Confidence is also a main quality that is linked to dancing and writing. You've got to be confident in what you write. It's like freestyle. If you know what I'm sayin' . I probably lost you by now."

"Nah…I've caught on. I'm not that slow, Mr. Takaishi. Even though you're a smart ass…it doesn't mean that I'm a total dorky dumb ass."

TK laughed.

Suddenly Daisuke noticed something about his laugh. It was more strained, as if it pained him to chuckle. "What happened?"

"Whatya mean…?"

"You're face…it's a bit bruised up…and one of your eye's is swelling a bit."

"It's nothin'," TK avoided, " Just got caught up in a little bit of shit."

"From the looks of it … I dun think it was little shit. I think it was big. And it could of got worse," Daisuke guessed.

"Perhaps," Takeru shrugged. " Don't worry about it."

"No. TK, you should go to the nurse to check it out. And you should really get some rest," Daisuke replied firmly.

" I gotta agree with you on that one," TK yawned. " Maybe I should get some shuteye."

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

She opened her eyes then suddenly closed them once again. The light pierced into the room through the curtains…yet it still hurt her eyes. She pushed herself under the bed to become a bit warmer.

"SORA!" she yelled from under the covers. "ANYONE?"

The brunette-headed girl was expecting for someone to come in…but realized that ten minutes had passed and no one had entered the room. Slightly cursing to herself, she weakly jumped out of bed and tiredly made her way into the empty kitchen, with her chocolate coloured eyes squinting to see where she was going.

Her arm weakly snatched the note that was left on the refrigerator and read it quietly to herself.

Hey girl

Kari, we figured you'd be alright here by yourself…since you're a big girl now. (just kidding). TK went back to boarding school and traded places with Matt again. Right now, your bro, Drew, Mimi, Matt and I will be home by 5pm cause we'll be at the mall. Get some rest. And don't worry, we'll be back before our curfew…

"Trust them to leave me home alone," she commented to herself, then continued to read the note addressed to her.

and maybe with some good pumpkin soup to sooth you down for dinner. For lunch, there's a whole lot of food you can choose from in the fridge. Make your selection, and you'll be fine. Trust me, you should find something worthwhile eating in there. You'd better nibble something down, cause I know perfectly well if you're eating or not eating. Don't do anything naughty while we're out. Take care, girl…n don't worry, I haven't told Tai or anyone bout ''you know what''!

Lots of Love

Sora

"You know what?" Kari questioned herself…"What? That I'm bulimic? Pfft…thought Sora would have forgotten about that by now. "

She opened the fridge and felt the freezing gust of air strike her face. Hikari then grabbed the some leftover pizza in the container and put it in the microwave for approximately a minute (she didn't like her food too hot). While waiting for her meal to be heated, she grabbed a CD from the shelf and put it on the CD- player.

Have you ever slipped up & caught up in something
Criminating evidence uh oh oh uh
Didn't pay attention when you thought you were creepin'
You thought you kept on the low oh oh uh oh
I thought I had my game tight until I got caught up in the night
Cause I didn't turn off my cell phone on on
Heard everything I said & I was so busted & all could say was uh oh

The beeper rang and Kari slowly stepped towards the microwave and pulled out the warm food. She bit a piece of pizza and slowly swallowed it down into her weak stomach. She then drank a bit of water, suddenly finding herself beginning to have the urge to cough it back up.

Even though she was tired, she used all her energy to rush to the bathroom. Her head hung over the toilet as she continued to cough. The food that she had chewed on came out of her mouth as she spewed the vomit into the toilet bowl. Tears of frustration and pain filled her eyes as she ran her fingers down her sweaty oily hair.

Kari tiredly sat on the cold tiles of the floor and leaned against the wall, in exhaustion…it was just was too much for her to handle…

Betta what them 2 ways (it will get ya caught up)
Caller I'd will (it will get caught up)
Message on the voice(it'll get ya caught up)
Them shady friends that go & tell(caught up, caught up)
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh ...

As soon as the five had arrived to the mall, Mimi and Sora straight away went to see a movie called 'White Chicks' . The guys didn't want to come along because it the film had the word 'Chick' in the title and straight away presumed it was a 'chick flick.' Even though the two girls kept persuading them to come and see it, the two had given up and went to see it for themselves. The three guys were presently just chilling out and invading the food court of the mall.

"Be right back, gunna get some ciggi's, " Matt said as he walked from the two boys, leaving the two alone.

Andrew took a bite out of his hamburger and began to talk without chewing the food down, mouth wide open. " So what did you want to get straight? I know you only wanted to see me…but it ends up you had to bring your whole group of friends…including Mimi. So what is it?"

"Before we talk about this shit, why don't you chew down your food first," Tai felt disgusted. He knew that he ate with his mouth open, but Andrew was munching it horribly down while talking. It sickened him…and he thought that he was bad with manners.

Drew swallowed it down, " So?"

"Well… just wanted to say sorry for being a fool lately…I didn't mean to it's just uh-"

"Don't worry it's cool. I've been a moron too," Drew responded with no hard feelings, " And? I know it's not only that. What else is there you wanna say?"

"It's Meems…" Taichi started scratching his head rather nervously.

Suddenly, Drew's expression hardened. " If you're plannin' to do somethin to her…"

"No…it's just…"

"Just what?"

"Do you have a thing for her!" Tai finally blurted out, suddenly unable to keep his suspiciousness back.

"Yeah…" Drew went a slight shade of pink, it was quite evident since he had a pale handsome face. " I do, and always will. I'm guessing you're after her too?"

"Ahuh."

"May the best man win," Drew winked.

"Seriously…"

"Well…yeah, I do gotta thing for her, Tai. But I guess it's her choice to choose between us bachelors. But I know who she already likes…" Drew sighed. " Ain't it obvious already?"

"What do you mean?"

"Tai," Andrew sighed. " She likes you. I'm not gunna beat around the bush…but man…it's so fuckin' obvious. I've known her for quite some time. I know now, why she likes you. Even though you seem an ass…you're a real nice guy…"

" No…I mean…what's she keeping from me?" Tai whispered uncomfortably. He stared at the hamburger he hadn't tore apart yet. It was unusual for Tai to leave food in front of him, without eating or even touching it. " I know I'm out of the loop…there's something I don't know…"

"She hasn't told you yet?" Drew frowned.

"Told me what?"

"I guess she'll tell you when she's ready…It's not my place to tell you," Drew said firmly. "It simply just isn't…"

"C'mon Drew…Matt's gunna be back soon, just tell me…" his voice broke out croakily.

"You'll find out either way…and yeah, I guess you gotta right to know what happened ages ago. What I'm bout to tell you…swear you won't tell anyone. This news is pretty bad…"

"Fine, whatever…just tell me already," Tai pleaded. He needed to know.

"Okay," Andrew paused, took one last gulp of coke and started to explain, " When Mimi lived here about two years ago, and she was 'it.'"

"What?"

"She was the chick that every teenage girl wanted to be. She was the chick that every guy wanted to date. She had everything. She was the most well known, rich and popular teenager at the school. She was really popular that she even dated guys that were already at the senior campus, when she was junior. But she was…a bitch."

"Nice," Tai smirked, " Never knew she had that side in her."

"Stop interrupting," Drew said in irritation. " Well…she had a best friend – the girl named Jezebel."

"As in the Jezebel that I've been hearing from Sora that she's been hitting on Matt! Or something like that…"

"Typical. Probably her, " Drew had given up telling Tai to stop cutting off his sentences. " Back to the story, the thing is…Mimi dated a stupid jock try hard dick, called Acey. This even made her more popular cause she was dating a guy about three years older than her. I guess every girl at school envied her."

"Obviously."

" But the thing was, Acey had gotten himself into this syndicate in dealing drugs. You could say he was the type of guy that would be stereotyped as your average bad boy," Drew frowned. " That's guy's been nothin' but trouble to everyone…he was always…or should I say always is up to no good."

"This Acey guy…is it his group that hurt TK pretty bad! The group that Mimi told up to not get involved with?"

"Most likely," Drew replied. " She probably has had enough experiences with him and didn't want you guys to be involved with his roughed up business."

"I see," Tai replied quietly. " Then what happened with their relationship!"

" Well…at that time…Mimi was one of my closest friends, back then. Through me…I guess you can say that was how Acey and Mimi met. It's probably my fault that I introduced them in the first place…none of the shit would have happened…"

Tai was speechless, he didn't get where this conversation was leading to, and he had no clue.

Drew gave a weak smile. " Even though Mimi was a bitch at the time (most likely influenced by her best friend – Jezebel), I knew she had some moral sense in her. So when she found out that her boyfriend had been kicked out of his house and had began dealing drugs…she tried to stop and help him out by threatening that she would tell the police if he didn't stop."

Taichi could feel the tension building up. Andrew looked really shaken up and pissed off about thinking back. "Then what, Andrew…what happened?"

"Acey he…," Drew said in a croaky tone, " He hit her up a bit, so that she wouldn't tell anyone… Mimi loved Acey…but it seemed like Acey was just a sick bastard…and just played with Mimi's feelings. One night…he drugged her up…and that bitch raped her."

Taichi frowned. Mimi didn't deserve this…no one deserved it. How could someone do this to…Mimi! He seriously hadn't been expecting this.

" What a bastard!" Tai growled angrily as furious tears rolled down his face. " How could he do that to Mimi! She didn't deserve it…she –"

"I know," Drew frowned.

" And…she - she never told any of us…has she been hiding this secret for a long time by herself? How…how do you know this story is true?" Tai calmed down, brushing the tears away from his face.

"Jezebel…she just laughed it out when Mimi got hurt…when Mimi told her best friend what happened. What hurt Mimi even more…was that Jezebel was another girl that Acey was cheating on her with…he was two timing them both at the same time. Mimi was practically broken when she turned to me. She couldn't speak to anyone else because everyone was siding with Jezebel then because it was rumoured that Mimi had broken off with Acey, and Jezebel and Acey were an item. When Mimi told me what happened…I was in shock and in disgust. But when she spoke to me…I knew it was hurting her too…"

Taichi wasn't sure if he wanted to know everything anymore. He had coped more than he could handle…he was still overwhelmed of the shit Mimi had been through and how she took it all by herself. He was glad…that at least Andrew was there for her…but what did he mean that Andrew was hurting her too!

" Did you rape her as well!" Tai's eyes flared angrily.

"No…no way in hell would I do such a thing to her," Andrew sighed with his frown deepening. "I just was causing her too much pain…because I looked like Acey."

" I don't get you…"

"You see…Acey," Andrew revealed, " is my filthy dick of a brother."

"WHAT!" Tai slammed his hand against the table, causing people in the food court to look at their table, not realizing that he had spilt Andrew's coke all over the table.

" I fuckin' hate it. Being related to such a selfish cunt. Trust me…even though he is my brother. I hate him too…it's not the type of hate that Kari and you share…that's nothing compared to our relationship. I am…I hate him so much…that I'm embarrassed to say that I'm related to such a fag," Andrew looked down. " He's such a disgrace."

"I'm back…gee, what happened to ya'll!" Yamato had come back. He stared back and fro at the two shaken up boys he had left earlier. Shaking his head, he took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Taichi. " What exactly did I miss?"

"Trust me…" Drew said numbly, " You wouldn't want to know."
